romney advisers are saying not so fast. this is still an american icon who is endorsing mitt romney. how do you react to it? >> two things on what i really believe. the fact, coming out of the convention, they didn't want a debate about clint eastwood. they wanted it about mitt romney'sed weres. we're not having that debate. we're not even discussing it. people are talking about, as you using your own words, the bizarre clint eastwood performance. and the reason they're doing that is because mitt romney's speech was so devoid and vacuous of any ideas. if there was a read my lips, or for those who work hard and play by the rules, as bill clinton said in '92. anything that said here's my philosophy, a compassionate conservative philosophy, there was nothing there. so the space post the convention is being about clint eastwood or the fact that paul ryan's speech was factually challenged. that is what's coming -- that is a critical point. nobody's debating clint eastwood is a great director, great writer. i love his movies. but

mitt romney will restore the work requirement, because it works. [ romney ] i'm mitt romney and i approve this message. not just between two political parties, or even two people. it's a choice between two very different plans for our country. governor romney's plan would cut taxes for the folks at the very top. roll back regulations on big banks. and he says that if we do, our economy will grow and everyone will benefit. but you know what? we tried that top down approach. it's what caused the mess in the first place. i believe the only way to create an economy built to last is to strengthen the middle class. asking the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way. so that we can afford to invest in education, manufacturing, and home-grown american energy for good middle class jobs. sometimes politics can seem very small. but the choice you face, it couldn't be bigger. ♪ i'm barack obama and i approve this message. >>> an unbelievable scene in australia. a news helicopter spots a fisherman in the water. the man had been treading water forever 20 hours. the
